Surrey, British Columbia, Canada Hamilton Duncan Full time

REAL ESTATE PARALEGAL

WHO WE ARE


Hamilton Duncan is the Fraser Valley's preeminent law firm, boasting a team of more than 30 talented lawyers and 60 excellent support staff.

Located in Surrey - one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, and one that is much more affordable than Vancouver - we provide high-end legal services to a wide variety of clients in an assortment of interesting and challenging matters across diverse areas of practice.

We pride ourselves in our commitment to our community and our collegial workplace and want people who value a culture and management style that fosters respect while rewarding individual responsibility, initiative and creativity and providing opportunities for further development.


WHO WE NEED


We are looking for a full-time paralegal with five or more years of experience, to support our corporate commercial lawyers.

Your goal will be to provide high-quality assistance so our clients can achieve the best possible outcomes.

Your work will help fuel our team and our clients' success while developing your skills in a high-demand practice area within the legal profession.


WHY YOU'LL WANT TO WORK WITH US
We ask a lot of our people, so we try to give a lot in return.

In addition to a competitive salary, we think you'll love these other benefits of working at Hamilton Duncan:

-
Health and wellness: Take care of yourself and your family with our comprehensive benefits plan that includes extended medical, dental, vision, critical illness, and life insurance coverages, as well as an employee assistance program for those trying times. Sick leave days ensure that you do not choose between your health and your income.
-
Plan for your future: Once you have been with us for a year, you will be eligible to participate in our group RRSP program, and we will match a portion of your contributions.
-
Develop your skills: Successful applicants to our continuing education program get some or all their tuition reimbursed for further law-related skills training.
-
Location: Get to quickly work thanks to our highly accessible office location (directly adjacent to the Gateway SkyTrain station) with an on-site fitness facility.
-
Additional comforts: Enjoy coming to work in jeans every Friday, leaving an hour early before long weekends and all summer weekends, and socializing with your colleagues at our regular social functions.

WHO YOU ARE
-
Experience: At least five years' experience as a paralegal, with exposure to both commercial and residential real estate transactions.
-
Education: A paralegal certification from an accredited post-secondary institution is required.
-
Characteristics: This is a position of significant responsibility, so you should be self-motivated and thrive on solving problems both independently and with the team. The role is also demanding, meaning that you need to be calm under pressure and eager to take on challenges. You should embrace the opportunity to communicate with others. We take pride in the quality of our work, so we hope you do too.

WHAT YOU WILL DO


You will be an integral part of our real estate team, critical to the success of both the lawyers you work with, and our clients.

Along your journey of providing invaluable assistance to our clients with their challenges, you will be responsible for:

-

-

-

-

-
Managing the calendars of busy solicitors, while ensuring key transaction dates are diarized, and bring forward systems are maintained to help sure that our clients' matters progress.
